Examing Codes of Ethics:
I-1.5—To create and maintain safe and healthy settings
that foster children’s social, emotional, cognitive, and
physical development and that respect their dignity
and their contributions (NAEYC, 2005).
This is so vital in supporting children’s well-being and learning. In doing so, we are following best practices and helping children reach their fullest potentials to be successful and productive members of society.
I-1.10—To ensure that each child’s culture, language,
ethnicity, and family structure are recognized and
valued in the program (NAEYC, 2005).
Embracing and respecting diversity is key to forming collaborative relationships with children and their families. It also lays the foundation for what children think about themselves within a community and effects how others view them within a community. It is important to build children’s self-esteem by acknowledging their importance and contributions to the community.
.
smooth transition as children and families move from
one program to the next (NAEYC, 2005).
Working with families to provide a safe and smooth transition builds trust between educators and families and shows families their child(ren) matter and are an important part of program. Trust equals greater support for children and more successful outcomes.

Great post Jana.These codes of ethics will be a constant reminder to all early childgood professionals that the child is a very important component of the adult, as such he/she should be guarded and guided to make our societies better places for all.Well done.

DeleteGreat post Jana! Working with families is very important I like how you added building trust between educators and families shows how important children are. I find that when the families of the children in my classroom know that I am providing an age appropriate experience for each child; they feel that they can trust me and want to help me support their child to be successful
